The eyes are one of the most expressive of body language．Keith，seventeen，from Montclair， New Jersey，learned the hard way about one the eyes can make．“I had a teacher who heavily on classroom discussion，”Keith says．“He seemed to have a strong to know just when I didn’t have the answer．I couldn’t how he could be so .Then it dawned on(逐渐被人明白)me． I didn’t know the answer，I would looking at him．When I did know what to say，I always stared straight back him. From that moment on，I myself to look him in the eye， I knew the answer or not．That trick has me a lot of trouble．”
Many people， some policemen，believe eye contact is a good of testing honesty．If someone can’t look at you directly in the eye，then he or she is not playing ，they insist. After many experiments， ，a number of exports have found out that good liars can make false eye contact．
Eye contact，though not a sure of dishonesty, is a clear way to show interest in another person. When a person looks at you and continues to do so，you know his attention is on you．When he turns his head away， his mind is probably ．But there is ．A shy person may have trouble making and keeping eye contact， no matter how interested he is in the other person．And certain nationalities，such as the British and Germans，are much oriented(适应)to eyeball-to-eyeball contact than，say，the French and the Arabs．

Years ago while lying in my hammock (吊床) and drinking JB from the bottle, I 21 my dog dragging something under the fence. 22 looking at it carefully, to my 23 , I realized it was the next-door neighbor’s 10-year-old daughter’s rabbit. For years I 24 her come home from school and 25 straight out to its cage, 26 it and play with it in the yard. I know today 27 be no different. 28 for our dog, I had to think fast.
The rabbit died and was quite dirty, as if it had 29 quite a struggle, so I washed it off with the plastic 30 , combed it with the dog brush and blew it 31 with the leaf blower (吹风机) . Upon finishing its grooming (刷洗), I jumped the 32 and put it back in its cage hoping its 33 would be accepted as “ natural causes”.
34 to the hammock and JB. Within the hour the neighbor’s car 35 as usual and out came the little girl, 36 as usual she headed straight for the cage. Only this time did she stop about six feet away and 37 “ D-A-D-D-Y-!!”
Her father, 38 , stood looking at the cage. Being the good neighbor, I rushed to the fence and asked if there was anything I could do.
Her father 39 than calmly shouted, “What kind of 40 person would dig up a little girl’s dead rabbit and put it back in its cage?”

Sings can something be seen at the entrance of a house, expressing that a tramp has passed. This special sign-language is frequently __1__ by tramp to inform their __2__ whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to –3-- them the trouble of making unnecessary calls.
Quite –4—one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight theses days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as tramp should be –5--,old worn trousers, and jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was vattered old hat and his boots were old and worn; they were almost coming into –6--. But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not a –7— in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger,--8—a funny turn, laid a small parcel by the front gate, and began –9—a sign was meaningless to me, it must have been –10--, for the tramp’s face lit up with—11--. He entered the front gate confidently and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him—12—his hat but couldn’t hear his face—13—. I felt –14—for him as he walked –15—out of the house. But just quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and --16 – his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake. –17—deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the –18—sigh and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his –19--, pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried –20--, whistling as he went along.

There’s a small cross by the side of Highway128, near the town o Boonville. If this cross could talk, it would tell you this 16 story:
Seven years ago my brother, Michael, was at a friend’s farm. They decided to go out for dinner. Joe arrived and 17 to drive—after just one 18.
19, the four friends traveled the winding road. They didn’t know where it would end ---- 20 did. Suddenly, they turned 21 into the opposite lane(车道), running into an oncoming car.
22 home we were watching E.T. on video in front of a warm fire. Then we went to bed. At 2:00 am a police officer 23 my mom with the shocking 24. Michael had been killed.
In the morning, I 25 my mother and sister crying. I stood there 26. “What’s wrong?” I asked, rubbing my 27 eyes.
Mom took a deep breath. “Come here…”
Thus began a difficult 28 through grief, where all roads lead to nowhere. It 29 hurts to remember that day.
The only thing tat helps is telling my story, 30 you will remember it 31 you want to get into a car with someone who has had a drink ---- even just one drink.
Joe chose the road to 32. He was convicted of manslaughter(过失杀人罪) and served time. However, the real punishment is 33 the consequences(后果) of his actions. He left us 34 and ache in our hearts that will never go away, a nightmare that will 35 him--- and us ---- or the rest of our lives. And a small cross by the side of Highway 128.

The friendship between us never fades. Mary Allen was my best friend—like a sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding, and so on.
When I was 13, my family moved. Mary and I 36 in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special37 — like my wedding and Mary’s. Soon we were 38 with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less. One day a card that I sent came back, 39 “Address Unknown.” I had no idea how to 40 Mary.
Over the years, I thought of Mary often. I wanted to 41 stories of my children and then grandchildren. I need to share my 42 when my brother and then my mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Mary could 43 .
One day I was reading a newspaper 44 I notice a picture of a young woman who looked a lot like Mary and whose last name was Wagman— Mary’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought, 45 I wrote to her anyway.
She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs. Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Mary Allen Wagman is my mother”. Minutes later I heard a voice that I46 at once, even after 40 years. We laughed and cried and asked about each other’s 47 .
Now the empty place in my heart is filled, and there is one thing that Mary and I know for sure: We won’t lose each other again!
